It seems everyone has someone on their Christmas list who is difficult to buy for. And don't you love it when you get a "wish list"?

The library has just such a list of items it "wishes" to put in the collection. Actually two lists: one for adults and one for children and teens. And buying books and other items for the library is good on several levels: 1) you'll be donating to something you love; 2) you may be able to write off the donation on your taxes (check with your accountant or the IRS); and 3) others will enjoy your gift, or gifts, for years to come.

Fortunately, Santa will make an appearance at all Fauquier County public libraries this coming week and, happily, he'll bring Mrs. Claus along. Families are invited to sing, hear holiday stories and have a jolly good time, and it's free and stress-free. Just don’t forget to bring your camera.

The Clauses will land first at the Bealeton Library on Monday, Dec. 6. Enjoy the lighting of the community Christmas tree and sing carols beginning at 6:45 p.m., then come into the library to hear stories and visit with Santa and the Missus at 7 p.m.
